I don't think, or I'm guessing, that re-signing moss means that the WR1 is "solved". I think he needs to be re-signed in addition to bringing in a #1. Armstrong has shown improvement but is a 3 or 4 on most teams if at all.[/QUOTE]
I have been more than critical of Moss and his declining ability and how poor our WRs are, but looking at the numbers, it seems to tell a different story: Santana has 1000 yards receiving , 6 TDs and Armstrong has almost 800 with 2 TDs. I'm not sure where numbers are suppose to be for a 1 and 2, but that seems to not be too shabby.
Obviously there needs to be more talent there as it would be awesome to have three solid WRs, but i'm starting to lean toward there are more important problems than this position for the team.

I am too. The talent & depth at WR is pretty low, but AA & moss are good enough to make plays when other facets of the O are working well. I wouldn't get too caught up in the #s, McNabb's yardage #s are high too. They've gotten some garbage time yards & have made some big plays, but failed to score much.
Although I agree w/you that there are bigger problems (front 7 & o line e.g.) I wouldn't criticize Shanahan if a wr was taken early in the draft, since they would need a couple years to develop. At the same time, I'm weary of 1st round wr's.
